"Illustrated Catalogue of Linotype Parts Manufactured and Sold By Ott. Mergenthaler & Co." (Baltimore, MD: Ott. Mergenthaler & Co., 1898). This is a catalogue produced by Ottmar Mergenthaler's own machine shop in Baltimore after his falling-out with the New York based syndicate which became the Mergenthaler Linotype Company. Because the NY company controlled the basic Linotype patents, only they could manufacture complete machines. Mergenthaler's own company manufactured both...

A booklet listing then-current Intertype Company (division of Harris-Intertype Corporation) linecasting matrices, with matrix identification information. This undated publication would appear to postdate the 1958 edition reprinted at http://archive.org/details/IntertypeFontNumbers1958, but probably predates 1963 (as it still uses city zone codes, not ZIP codes).
